And then there were two

Unlike last fall, there's more than one area football team playing in Week 12. Cumberland Valley and Trinity are the only two teams that will be holding practice this week and playing a game Friday.

The Eagles (9-2) head to Berks County for a game against rival Wilson (11-0) in the District 3 Class AAAA quarterfinals. Last year, CV beat the Bulldogs at Gurski Stadium with a last-second pass from Eric Sawyer to Trevor Harman.

CV punched its quarterfinal ticket by beating a physical Spring Grove side, 35-21.

In Class AA, Trinity is in the semifinals for the first time since 2007 thanks to a 42-0 rout over Boiling Springs. The Shamrocks (10-1) will host upstart Bermudian Springs (8-3) on Friday at COBO Field.

Bermudian dumped previously unbeaten and second-seeded Littlestown, 37-0. This might be a trap game for the Shamrocks, who no doubt expected to see the Bolts next week. Will coach Bill Ragni have his teams ready for the less heralded Eagles? Time will only tell.
